All drugs should be legal and regulated.

Maybe democrats want to lose. Why else would they not invite 3rd parties to participate of equal footing. Why would they say no to multiple chances at beating the republicans? Why would they say no to increased voter participation and the free votes that come along side that.

Where is the urgency during the election? Where is the urgency now? Do they not believe what they’ve been saying about the republicans this whole time?

Are you an llm?

Dehumanizing others? Sounds like something a republican would do.

Will you still be saying that when Trump puts a resort in Gaza?

Yes. Will you refuse to demand electoral reform in your state so the people of this nation can vote outside the two party system without a spoiler effect? Will you refuse to do anything about those who are without representation? Will you refuse democracy?

The biggest issue, though, is with the people who couldn’t be bothered enough to vote. Some, what, 40% of Americans never vote?

Sounds like First-past-the-post voting doesn’t properly represent the population. Let’s try a new electoral system to fix this. The people of Alaska switched to Ranked Choice and they had a referendum last election to go back to FPTP voting, and they didn’t want to.

So it seems like you fully understand the flaws of First past the post voting. Have you done anything to fix it? Are the democrats doing anything to fix it? Nows the time. Not during the election

While I did vote blue conservative (for the last time), they were not worthy of that vote because they did not represent me. That’s how representative democracy works. What you advocate for is not representative democracy, it is a hostage situation and should be treated like the crisis that that entails.

Why are you okay with people being underrepresented at the voting booth? Are you actively working to replace First Past the Post voting in your state? People should have the freedom to vote for the candidates they believe are best, while still ensuring their votes count against those they don’t want in office.

It’s not as though democrats are just now learning of the mathematical flaws of FPTP. Every election I’ve seen the same bullshit excuses to take people’s inalienable right to vote how they want. Democrats in blue states made a choice to leave a huge portion of the population unrepresented, all for safe states and easy elections.

We don’t need to wait for a miracle from Congress, we can pass election reform one state at a time. Should we have more elections, we must remove the democratic monopoly on this fight against the republicans. Don’t worry, blue conservative, you will be free to vote for your preference under a more representative electoral system. Because who would want to deny someone the right to vote for the person they feel is best? You apparently.

Alaska has already abolished FPTP voting. After Ranked Choice Voting kept Sarah Palin out of office, Alaskan Republicans tried to pass a referendum to revert to FPTP, but the people voted to keep Ranked Choice. Why would you want to use the same voting system that Republicans favor? Do you support democracy, or do you get off on forcing people unrepresented in government to vote for your preference?

Just admit you just want to crush protests you don’t like just like trump does. Blue conservatives.

Both were working class, so in that perspective yes.

Call the cops /$

Now playing Brother Ali - Uncle Sam Goddamn

Haven’t they been coming for the students already before trump got into office?

Pretty sure the colleges were doing this on their on volition. No need to reiterate president trump, they have the situation under control.

Isn’t the democrats plan in this situation to call the cops? To use the worlds best justice system? Just call the cops. You know, the ones that murder people/dogs for fun, beat their spouse, make up charges to fuck your life up, and assault protestors?

Just call the cops. I’m sure the wealthy democrats in their gated communities are right on this one. They didn’t carefully craft a bipartisan police state alongside the republicans for nothing. They know better then us dirty working class folk

Just call the cops.

Planet will be fine but that’s like a couple million years in the future. Don’t worry, our sun has billions of years before it expands and consumes our planet.

When I was a teenager I was way into eastern spirituality and meditation, taoism. People think meditating is having no thoughts. The thoughts are still there. They speed through your mind like cars on a train. Meditation is letting each individual car pass you buy. You let the cars blur by, not trying to focus on the individual cars. It’s a blur, and you eventually see them as a train going by not the singular box cars.

I bring this up because during some of the darker days in my life, I let time pass by me in such a way. Each day fading into the next, slipping through my fingers as though it were sand. It helped me not focus on the train car I was currently in. Carrying on autopilot. Like fast forwarding on that Click movie.

Sorry this was so long winded. I just have shared your feelings for a long time throughout my life, and this stuff helped me through what I felt trapped in earlier on life. Addicted to spooky drugs. Homeless. No jobs. Felt like I was at the bottom on the ocean there was so much pressure. I hope you find your way through these feelings. Not tryjng to tell you how to feel or what to do. I definitely understand how you feel. Some one else cant make you feel better.

Better circumstances would be a huge help i know that. I made it to the next day bitter and jaded and pissed. I wish life could be easy, and giving up is easy. I can’t tell you for sure things will get better, but time will carry us forward. If you can’t find something in the now, live for the maybe.

Peace.

Weed, psychedelics, gaming, and my least/most favorite alcohol (work in progress, it’s complicated).

If you’re upset or feel bad, just do what you can and hang on. If you make it through a year, a month, a day… thats a victory. Thats doing something. Things won’t be like this forever. Nothing lasts forever.

We don’t have to go back to the previous status quo after we weather the storm either. We can make things better for all. Don’t let the tiny box thinking people with low standards convince you otherwise.
